That Tomb Raider trailer took my mind to sexist places, I guess. "When life flashes before us, we find something that keeps us going..." and it's a man. Totally not the message I expected from this new Tomb Raider.

Oh, and probably new 3DS lite or reworked version that offers less eye destruction for kids.

Too soon, even for Nintendo.

Don't be so sure, Nintendo have essentially become the Apple of console gaming so it wouldn't be all that surprising to see a new version so soon after the original release. That, and the fact that the 3DS apparently has problems that really do need fixing, makes it all the more likely.

Oh they have been since the GBA, but the thing hasn't even been out six months yet. Even Apple doesn't announce a new model within six months.

for me battery life doesnt really mattery since i mainy play handhelds with an ac adaptor. if 3d gives you headaches turn it off its that simple. ive also heard the street fighter 4 runs a better framerate if you turn 3d off.

You need to go into the game options as simply keeping the slider down isn't enough, but you're right. And it's probably how I'd prefer to play the game in the long run, it's not a type of game that really benefits from the 3D.

I think the upcoming 3DS Mario will be THE game to determine if 3D has a legitimate use for games or is just a cheap gimmick. There were times in both Mario Galaxy games where I felt having some depth perception could've helped a lot, and if it doesn't actually make a difference here then 3D really doesn't have much of a purpose afterall. I'm expecting it WILL help though, even if it ends up being that only a few genres (namely 3D platformers) see actual benefit.
